Teach the kids English (Part 6)
Introduction
Another week has gone by, let’s see how much the kids have improved!
Improvements
- The kids can now answer yes/no questions about the player/speaker
- The kids now know that “Dave”, “Murray” and “Dave Murray” can all represent the name of Dave Murray
- The kids have started developing their short-term memories, to remember the context of the conversation. So we can now have the following conversation:
- The kids are better at understanding words too. For example, the kids can now recognize “yellow” as a color, without our need to mention the word “color” in the context.
5. They also know that a character can have multiple favorites/hates in a single “topic”.
- The kids now respond as “not know” if the input sentence has too many unknown words to them, instead of guessing wildly previously.
-
The kids now have a better understanding of negative sentences (no, not, etc)
-
The kids have now understood more contractions
-
The kids can now reply with “Met too” and things like that
I have also improved the whole language system and the Slack server a lot, fixed many bugs as well.
What’s next?
There are still many tasks, ideas and problems to tackle in the next few months, stay tuned!
